Verse:
B
It's only when your poison spins into the life you'd hoped to live
A
and suddenly you wake up in a shaken panic now
B
You had set me up like a lamb to slaughter
Garbo as a farmer's daughter
Unbelievable, the gospel according to who?
A
I lay right down
Chorus:
F#
All your sad and lost apostles
A E
hum my name and flare their nostrils
F# A A/Ab/G/F#
Choking on the bones you tossed to them
F#
now I'm not one to sit and spin
A E
because living well's the best revenge
D A E
Baby, I am calling you on that
Verse:
B
Don't turn your talking points on me.
History will set me free
A
The future is ours and you don't even rate a footnote now!
B
So who's chasing you? Where did you go?
You disappear mid-sentence
In a judgement crisis I see my in and go for it
A
You weakened shill.
Chorus:
F#
All your sad and lost apostles
A E
hum my name and flare their nostrils
F# A A/Ab/G/F#
Choking on the bones you tossed to them
F#
now I'm not one to sit and spin
A E
because living well is the best revenge
D A E
and baby, I am calling you on that
Verse:
B
You savor your dying breath
I forgive but I don't forget
You work it out, let's hear that argument again
A
Camera three... GO NOW!
Chorus:
F#
All your sad and lost apostles
A E
hum my name and flare their nostrils
F# A Ab/G/F#
Choking on the bones you tossed to them
F#
now I'm not one to sit and spin

When I'm moving too fast Where's my new address?
Lyrics:
It's been pretty simple so far, vacation in Athens is calling me
And knock, knock, knock on wood, I thought I'd left you behind
Heaven is yours, heaven is yours, heaven's yours where I live
The thought of the catacombs left my soul at home
This letter never sent
And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
When I'm moving too fast, where's my new address?
The water is evening now, the catacombs are filling in
If my soul was made of stone, no, not, not so dark, dark
And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost
And it's so far, it's so far, it's so far
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)

Staring Down The Barrel of The Middl Distance
Verse:
E D2 x However many times necessary
Pre-Chorus Chords:
A5 G5 x How ever many times necessary
Chorus Chords:
A5 B5 C5 D5 x2
(All these patterns just happen many times over)
Now the hope for the future took a pounding in the parking lot
And the answer for today is all I got
When your name is called the lights went down
The time is the essence excuse me
And I'm blinking at the vanishing point of what I thought
Staring down the barrel of the middle distance
God knows I've tried
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I greet despair to a standard prayer
If you call for the future I don't care
And I turn you round to face me here
There's a compass raised with a familiar tone
With a voice that needles me to the bone
Staring down the barrel of the middle distance
God knows I've tried
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
Whose position shifts cause its been effect
If you can't hit play cause the button sticks
Ignorance is bliss, I can't say
There's a compass raised with familiar tone
With a voice that needles you to the bone
You're left with chaos, static and delay
Staring down the barrel of the middle distance
Staring down the barrel of the middle distance
God knows I've tried
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
Staring down the barrel of the middle distance
God knows I've tried
I close my eyes
I close my eyes

Notes:
In the verse it seems that Peter does not hit the high e string but he
strums every chord once and then the stays at the melodic strings til the
next chord.
D5 Am7
If the storm doesn't kill me
C G
the government will
D5 Am7 Fill1
I've gotta get that out of my head
D Am7 C G
It's a new day today and the coffee is strong
D Am7 Fill11
I finally got some rest
So a man's put to task and challenges
I was taught to hold my head high
Collect what is mine,
Make the best of what today has
D* C* Fill2
Houston is filled with promise
D* C*
Laredo's a beautiful place
D* C* Fill2
and Galveston sings like that song that I loved
F G
Its meaning has not been erased
And so there are claims forgiven
And so there are things that are gone
Houston is filled with promise
Laredo is a beautiful place
and Galveston sings like that song that I loved
Its meaning has not been erased
F
And some things, they fall to the wayside
G D5
Their memory is yet to be stilled
F
Belief has not failed me
G D5
And so I am put to the test

On the Fly
You said that loving me was falling off a log
You always had a way with words
I"m in a barrel over Niagra Falls
I wonder if I am defaced
If I asked of you just one wish
Would you turn on me and take the fifth
Your off again on some epic celebration
Shooting barrels full of fish
You found another hole to waltz into
You found another car to crash
I figured if out that if you served me up
Another of this shall pass
Its easy laugh off easy to brush aside
We"re living our lives we"re here on the fly
Its easy laugh off easy to brush aside
We"re living our lives we"re here on the fly
And I just happened by
I stood there naked by the trains again
Frozen stock still in the yard
A Heron waiting for the fish to jump
I never let down my guard
I"ve been exclusive when it comes to you
I don"t receive at all
I wished I felt the same when you called me late
I almost wished you didn"t call
God knows what I"m looking for
And God knows what I am
Cause Even Jesus had his reservations
I won"t be doubting you again
I won"t be doubting you again
Its easy laugh off easy to brush aside
We"re living our lives we"re here on the fly
Its easy laugh off easy to brush aside
We"re living our lives we"re here on the fly
And I just happened by
I"m living my life, I"m here on the fly

"Horse To Water"
B
I could have kept my head down
B
I might have kept my mouth shut
B
I should have held my own,
B
You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.
SAME PROGRESSION AGAIN:
You're only as big as your battles.
Rattle my cage with your shadow.
I'm a phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,
Don't you know that what comes around goes around?
Em B
I'm not that easy,
A5 B
I am not your horse to water.
Em B A5
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.
VERSE PROGRESSION AGAIN:
Don't darken my doorstep again,
You're mixing up living in chin-chin,
You're mixing up lose with win-win,
You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.
You stumble on glass top table,
TV's chewing shock-gone cable
Pump me up a beanstalk fable
And I'll call this entertainment
'cause Humpty's falling down.
CHORUS:
I'm not that easy,
I am not your horse to water.
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.
VERSE
Pick a fight an ultra-buzzy bubble
Friday night fuckin' fried-up pub crawl
Phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,
Don't you know that what comes around goes around?
CHORUS
I'm not that easy,
I am not your horse to water.
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.
It's not that easy
I am not your horse to water
I hold my breath, I come around, round, round

Welcome the ugly animal.

Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command

Make way for monster jealousy

If I were you I'd really run from me
I really really wish that I were you
When I get loose I'll climb a treee

This monster in me makes me retch, you messed it, messed it up

{play the riff but start with the stuff on the 7th fret of

I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph.
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Peel back the mountains peel back the sky
Stomp gravity into the floor
It's a Man Ray kind of sky

Get me to the train on time, here take this nickel make a dime
Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave
What is at the other end, I don't know another friend
Another wife, another morning spent
Listen, listen to the auctioneer
Another engine, another engine
We never wrote the reasons that I need explained
Some things are givens, and others get away
This time its for myself you call it what you may
Okay, we won't say goodbye so long, so much more
Listen to the auctioneer
Another engine, another engine
Listen to the bargain holler
Listen to the barter holler
Listen to the auctioneer
Get me to the train on time here take this nickel make a dime
Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave

Lyrics:
I can't see myself at thirty, I don't buy a lacquered thirty
Caught like flies, preserved for tomorrow's jewelery, again
Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
Preserved for tomorrow's eyes, in tree beer tar-black brer sap,
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost
Who will tend the farm museums? Who will dust today's belongings?
Who will sweep the floors, hedging near the givens?
Rally round your leaders it's the mediator season
Diane is on the beach, do you realize the life she's led?
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, oh man I think we're lost
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
A matter of course, Jefferson, Jeffer
Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
Sky-lied, sty-tied, Nero pie-tied, in tree tar-black brer sap,
Reason has harnessed the tame, a lodging, not stockader's game
Another Greenville, another Magic Mart, Jeffer, grab your fiddle,
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost

Tuning: DADGBE (that's dropped D)
[Note: The solo guitar line is marked as being tuned EADGBE. It's a different
guitar. It doesn't really matter, however: since the solo line doesn't go
down to the 6th string, you can play both parts on the same guitar without
trouble.]
